Who doesn’t remember their first crush? It’s seared into our brains from a young age, and it lays the foundation for who we’re about to become. When I was very small, all I used to watch were cartoons, just like any kid of that age. And it was around that time when I began seeing more than just characters on screen and started to believe they were prospective partners. Hey, I was a kid! I was hella dumb!However, it was much weirder than it sounds.

Grand Theft Auto V was released 12 years ago now, the last instalment in the hit franchise that sees you stealing sh*t, killing people, interacting with freaks and oddballs, and generally messing around in a massive virtual sandbox. TWELVE YEARS AGO, in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 generation! In 2013, I was struggling to find a job after college. I’m 50% older than I was back then, and I feel old.

hello world!Alright, alright movies are done. Check. Now it’s time to write about the Top 10 most anticipated TV shows of 2025… did you really think I wouldn’t? So strap in because it wasn’t easy to put this one together, either. There are many new things and many second or third seasons, so it’s time to see where they landed on the list. Just like with the movies, I will make some predictions here as well and obviously, I can’t take out the personal excitement I have for these, so… Let’s go.

hello world!In a life-or-death situation, would you risk your own life to save others? What if that life-or-death situation were to last several weeks or months? And what if saving lives actively puts your life and your people in a more precarious situation? It starts to get a bit more morally ambiguous. The Damned, directed by Thordur Palsson, is a story about this very predicament.

hello world!Dandadan dandadan dan da dan DAN DA DAN! Animated by Science Saru Studio, Dandadan is the story of Momo and Okarun, two teens with supernatural gifts and a passion for the occult. Thrown together by a chance meeting at school, these two work together to learn more about ghosts, aliens and more as they try to cure Okarun of a curse. The weirdness and kookiness in the way it tells its story is what gives this anime its hook. Dandadan dandadan dan da dan DAN DA DAN! Sorry.

hello world!I will start by saying that I absolutely loved Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I’m not afraid to admit that. I like what I like. As a person with ADHD, I was so happy with the way that the companion system was set up. I didn’t have to worry about their health on top of mine. I understand that some long time Dragon Age fans are annoyed by that, but holy crap, it’s a relief and takes a ton of stress off me.

hello world!Religion is a funny thing. For the pious, it’s the light in the darkness, the jam to your jelly, the voice changer to your Ghostface (just imagine him without it!). However, the more atheistic members of the community may struggle with the concept. Not just with the notion of higher beings puppeteering the universe but also with people actually believing there are these all-knowing deities. So, where do you sit? Do you believe, or do you not?

hello world!Fighting games have a long history of characters that can be considered too powerful. Some are so powerful that their power seems far past the intended character balance. Marvel vs Capcom 2 is one of the best examples where 10% of the characters are so above the rest of the roster that they can’t hold a candle in a professional setting.

hello world!It’s the end of the spooky season for another year. I mean, you could just roll with it for the whole 12 months like some of us (it’s always time for a horror movie in my house!), but, alas, that’s not for everyone. So, why not treat yourself by feasting your ears on a little horror story via a podcast format? Dream Sequence is a ten-episode audio podcast from Blumhouse Television, Realm, and iHeartPodcasts.
